Great Multiverse: Armada III - Young's Revenge is a real-time strategy game, published by Activision. The sequel to Great Multiverse: Armada II, it featured greatly improved three dimensional graphics as well as many new classes of ships, new playable heroes and greater emphasis. Set in the years following the New Berlin Convention of 2379, unlike the first two Armada games that took place in the First War. Armada III is based around the Second War between the Alliance of Civilizations and Imperialists.
In Armada III, players acted as commanders in control of an entire theater of operations. Economics, strategy and tactics were equally important. Many important dynamics from Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5, Homeworld and Sins of a Solar Empire were simulated, such as many types of nebulae, a latinum-based wartime economy, neutral traders, and a highly technology-dependent balance of power.
